With the Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah complete Real Salt Lake played in their new home for the first time last night. We have been working on a documentary about the new stadium for the last few months and the team's first game in their new home is the finally chapter in our story. With production wrapped we are hard at work editing the hours of interviews, practice and game footage, press conferences, and construction footage into a 20 minute piece.
We shot Friday evening and all day Saturday to complete production on our short film which has now been officially titled: The Way To Deadman Pass
Everyone had fun even though there was an excessive amount of sun and sand. We were always ahead of schedule and had some good food to eat! The footage looks amazing and has all been cut together. Currently the sound is being mixed. So everybody will be able to see the finished product soon! Click here to read an article about our adventures producing this film.
Work on our western project continues and we have to get our lead actor (Luke Ensign) some practice riding a horse. Sherrie Stringer has been giving Luke some lessons and is providing horses and costumes for the project. Here are some stills from video I took during the riding lesson on Saturday, August 16th:
In preparation for our untitled western short film project we went location scouting in and around Eureka, Utah and the Little Sahara Desert on August 13th.
